If you can't/don't want to sell or give these darling books away , just put them on your coffee table and allow your coffee and tea visitors to turn the pages and hum and haw and lovingly reminisce about the past.

HA HA! Boy have things changed. My mom took a couple of my albums, but gave me money to buy something else. One was Savoy Brown was one album.

Cindy, I love it that your mom stayed with you by giving you the money to explore something else. I'm not familiar with Savoy Brown. : )

What fun to read this! And memories of parental censorship.....my mom hid my Beatles albums and even cut out parts of a couple of objectionable books I owned. Today that would be called "being canceled", I suppose. My, what would our parents say about today's media?!

Yes, Nancy, "canceled"! The urge to censor seems odd coming from some of the same people who are so vocal about their freedoms. (School board public speakers?)
